Touring in support of their new album, Cook. Cook isn't just a nod to Lettuce's musical heat; it's an invitation to join the band at the table, where funk, soul, jazz, rock, and hip-hop come together in one rich, flavorful dish.
Released on their own Lettuce Records label, the band's next studio album offers a menu of delights that marks a band exploring new sonic territory. For these six life-long partners, the new songs feel like a nourishing meal that entices all of your senses.
Like 2019's Elevate, 2020's Resonate and 2022's Unify, before it, Cook was recorded at Colorado Sound just outside East Coast transplants Deitch, Smirnoff, and Bloom's adopted home of Denver, where they gathered in one room to work on the new material. Ryan Zoidis did a masterful job mixing the final results with longtime Grammy-nominated engineer Jesse O'Brien.
On the new album, Lettuce has expanded its ever-widening musical palette again. Coming off tours with both rap icon GZA of Wu-Tang Clan and and reggae legend Ziggy Marley while earlier in this year releasing the live album and concert film 'Lettuce with the Colorado Symphony' capturing over 90 minutes of collaborative symphonic arrangements with the Colorado Symphony
"This record is a little more three-dimensional than our past albums," added Deitch. "It shows a lot more sides to the band, exploring further depths of production and arrangements."
One can hear the Wu-Tang Clan vibe on "Storm's Coming," which could well be a lost track from (36 Chambers), while working with an orchestra can be traced in the epic cinematic score of the closing "Ghost of Yest," which Deitch terms, "a cool tune that has symphonic influences."
The band also recently announced the launch of Lettuce Red Crush and Orange Crush wine brands with Aquila Cellars, as well as a recipe book of pairings to be included with the vinyl album and in digital form. The wine was brought to life by Bloom and Zoidis' wine distribution company, Benny & Zoid Selections who made it accessible to purchase nationwide online.
"Music and food are very related," said Deitch. "Use the wrong ingredients in either and you can ruin the sound and the meal."
With Cook, it appears Lettuce has the right recipe for success... both musically and organizationally.
"This is the best team we've ever had," said Deitch of his current management. "We feel like the world is our oyster. Our concepts and ideas can really come to fruition now with our infrastructure. It's beautiful to be in a headspace of feeling this fresh. It's the start of a brand-new era for us."
